over the years, i have been taught what certain cravings mean and how i can replace them in a healthy way. so i figured, why not share it with you guys?
if you crave chocolate…
your body needs magnesium. a quick fix for this is raw nuts and seeds, legumes, or fresh fruits.
if you crave sweets…
your body might need some of the following:
-chromium - have some broccoli, grapes, cheese, or chicken.
-carbon - chow down on some fresh fruit.
-phosphorus - chicken, eggs, legumes, or grains can help.
-tryptophan - similar to magnesium, have some raw nuts and seeds, legumes, or fresh fruits.
if you crave bread or toast…
your body needs nitrogen. have some high protein foods such as fish, meat, nuts, or beans.
if you crave fatty foods…
your body needs calcium. broccoli, kale, legumes, or cheese help.
if you crave alcohol…
your body might need some of the following:
-protein - think seafood, dairy, or nuts.
-avenin - chow down on some granola or oatmeal.
-calcium - broccoli, kale, legumes, or cheese help.
-potassium - bitter greens or seaweed usually do the trick.
if you crave ice cream/shaved ice…
your body needs iron. some suggestions are fish, greens, seaweed, or black cherries.
if you crave burned or grilled food…
your body needs carbon. chow down on some fresh fruits.
if you crave soda and carbonated drinks…
your body needs calcium. broccoli, kale, legumes, or cheese help.
if you crave salty foods…
your body needs chloride. goat milk (yes i know that’s a little odd) and fish help.
if you crave acid foods (burgers)…
your body needs magnesium. just like chocolate, have some raw nuts and seeds, legumes, or fresh fruits.
if you crave cool drinks (milkshakes or malts)…
your body needs manganese. some suggestions are walnuts, pecans, almonds, pineapple, or blueberries.
if you’re PMS-ing…
your body needs zinc. red meat, seafood, leafy greens, and root vegetables are helpful.
if you’re overeating…
your body might need some of the following:
-silicon - nuts and seeds are a quick fix.
-tryptophan - eat some cheese, raisins, sweet potatoes, or spinach.
-tyrosine - vitamin c supplements should do the trick.
if you crave tobacco…
your body might need some of the following:
-silicon - nuts and seeds help, but stay away from refined starches.
-tyrosine - vitamin c supplements or red, orange, or green fruits and veggies can help.
disclaimer: i am not a health professional in any way, this is just advice i have been given over the years.
I don't think many people get it, but
if you join the "ana community" you are already in. Yes, the goal is to lose weight, but there is actually a reason you do this the unhealthy way. Ever thought that if you ate healthily instead of starving or binging or purging you would be thinner by now? Yea. Can't give it up now can you? Cause there is a problem within you that you probably aren't ready to face or are tired of facing. Either way you don't know how to cope anymore so you focus on food. That one constant that is always there when shit goes downhill. Can't get out because you are way too deep in.
drop the eat less subliminal link?👁👄👁?
bet,, these two work the best and have good music

- Simultaneously eating like a normal person and mentally lashing yourself for it.
- Not eating when you feel angry or sad, but then a few hours later you eat a bag of chocolate marshmallows because you somehow convince yourself it doesn’t count.
- “I shouldn’t have done that”
- Looking at thinspo at night and crying because you feel ugly
- The 5th grader pitch screaming in your head as you take another bite of food.
- a week of super healthy eating and working out followed by two weeks of unhealthy eating
- constantly shifting of wanting to look like a toned fitness model, to a thicc slim, to a skeleton fairy
- *eating something* *someone comments on the thing you are eating* *stops eating thing* *50/50 chance you may eat it later*
- oh yeah, random moments of eating something before spontaneously destroying the food or tossing it
- “Okay, after this weekend, I’m fasting”
- wishing you were anorexic knowing you shouldn't
- body dysmorphia
- Calling it disordered eating because you don’t feel deserving of calling it an ed
I’m starting this and going to try my hardest to continue this for the next 10 weeks. I’m starting today (August 18, 2019) and will do this workout everyday after school. I will eat only dinner (and maybe a small lowkey snack if I feel faint). I will check in every Sunday and update you on my consistency, weight, mesurements (when I get a measuring ribbon) and anything else that Id like to. Stay safe, love you :)
August 18 - Weight: 119.4
i decided to start this diet but i didn’t like any of the photos that were on google so i made my own!
byee i used the wrong twt, its @/kailbs 😐😐
having an ed is drinking coffee all fucking day long, fantasizing about your next shit, craving the hollow feeling of starvation, but loving food more than anyone else ever.
(does one thing) hm i think i deserve a little reward :) (walks around in circles listening to music for three hours)
